Could Tariq Owens potentially be an NBA Player one day?

Tariq Owens is not known for his offensive prowess but set a Texas Tech record blocking 92 shots this season. He was a critical part of this tournament run and his contribution to this team will not be overlooked. He was injured in the Final Four Round of the NCAA Tournament and still played through it, even after having to use a walking boot to this day. Could Owens be on his way to the NBA pretty soon?
